    It’s just a dumb populist policy. The CDU thinks it has a chance to get voters from AfD back by moving even more to the right. Even if it means to damage the country by alienating highly skilled migrants.

      I agree, but the SPD went through with it. The two largest parties in Germany aren’t interested in bettering the country they’re interested in making press headlines while increasing the wealth of their friends and the wealthy.

      The fact that the first three policies I’ve seen come out of this coalition are increasing our national debt, wanting to decrease taxes on the wealthy, and removing a niche path to citizenship for the people we want here the most should be a wake up call for the - what 40% of Germans who voted for these people. They’re antiquated parties incapable of making real progress for the working German.
